cigars

Humidor's prized contents

Cigars are rolls of dried tobacco leaves wrapped in a tobacco-leaf covering, meant for smoking.

Unlike cigarettes, cigars are typically larger, unfiltered, and not inhaled deeply.

They range from small cigarillos to large coronas and are associated with celebration and leisure: He lit a cigar after the baby was born.

Close, but no cigar means almost but not quite successful—from carnival games that awarded cigars as prizes.
